How does your garden grow?

Hope you’re in the mood for more flower photos, because things got nuts in the garden this month…

Mandevilla
Bottlebrush, with a few mock orange blossoms in the background.
Moonflower
Asiatic lily, my favorite color scheme.
Another color scheme. These blooms are as big as my hand. The stalks are 6 feet tall. These things are INSANE!
Best year for gladiolas EVER!
Beautiful clarkia, which no one remembers ever planting…
Sure, it’s a normal marigold, but it was grown from a seed! We didn’t cheat and pick up a six pack from Home Depot.
It’s been a great year for sunflowers!
“Red Sun.” I wonder why they call it that?
A Kentucky Derby rose, right on time!
Pumpkin blossoms!

Why should the flowers get all the attention?
